100TH BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF YURI BONDAREV
100th birth anniversary of famous Soviet/ Russian writer and screenplay writer Yuri Bondarev was celebrated under the auspices of the Russian House in Trivandrum. Writer and translator Mr Mangad Ratnakaran was the Chief Guest. In his speech, Mr Ratnakaran said that Yuri Bondarev was a writer who wrote to highlight the pride of his country. “Even at school, he and his friends kept a handwritten literary magazine. He published his first poems and short stories in those magazines. His novel "Hot Snow" was published in 1970. He conceived this book in Austria at a literary conference. There, Bondarev met two Germans. Their conversation led him to write this novel. Bondarev's front-line stories will remain classic. There is a purity and clarity in them that the writer has not achieved anymore. Like his contemporaries. It's not just about the theme that burns through the soul but also about the literary take-off. Bondarev is still remembered for the movie LIBERATION, which he co-authored,” said Mr Ratnakaran. The chief guest spoke about the contemporary Russian Cinema.

Anil Kumar spoke on the occasion. The Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Crimea and Permanent representative of Crimea to the President of the Russian Federation Mr Georgiy Muradov sent a message to the participants of the seminar. In his address, Mr Muradov said that he was glad to know that more and more foreign partners recognize and support the choice of Crimeans to join Russia. “We would like to strengthen our ties with regions in India. We emphasise that Crimea has always been a point of attraction for many young Indians interested in studying at Russian universities, and currently more than a thousand students from India are studying in Crimea! We are confident that joint projects and initiatives will contribute to strengthening the mutual interest of our people,” Mr Muradov pointed out in his message.
The participants of the seminar lauded the historical importance of the referendum and reunification of Crimea with Russia taken place on 18 March 2024. Crimea had always been the integral part of Russia and base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, underlined the participants. In his address, Dr Josekutty Abraham said that Russia has more historical and national right on Crimea than the US has on many of its states like Texas and Florida and many other places like Diego Garcia.
Honorary Consul of Russia and the Director of the Russian House in Trivandrum, Mr Ratheesh C Nair said that the Russian House had been organising events every year since the peninsula reunited with Russia. “I am grateful to the Government of Crimea, especially Mr Muradov, for the support extended to organise this event,” said Mr Nair
